The Rape Foundation 2011 Annual Brunch

The Rape Foundation Annual Brunch, held on September 25, 2011, was hosted by cast members of MAD MEN, including Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, Vincent Kartheiser, Elizabeth Moss, John Slattery, and Aaron Staton. J.K. Simmons, a versatile and beloved actor, served as the emcee. MAD MEN cast members spoke to an audience of 800 people with powerful statements about their experiences visiting the Rape Treatment Center and Stuart House.

The Rape Foundation was proud to honor these outstanding actors for their brilliant performances in MAD MEN that have created one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, and entertaining shows on television. MAD MEN has been called a “history lesson.” It illuminates the social mores, attitudes, and sanctioned behaviors of the era in which the show is set. We see and feel the human impact of sexism, racism, homophobia, and related inequities and workplace politics as they were expressed in a different time.The Rape Treatment Center confronted many of these challenges when it was established in the 1970s.
